More quotes by Mother Teresa
Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.
Mother Teresa
All that we need to know all the wisdom of the cosmos we will find in our own heart
Mother Teresa
Prayer enlarges the heart until it is capable of containing God's gift of Himself. Ask and seek and you heart will grow big enough to receive Him and to keep Him as your own. Wherever God has put you, that is your vocation. It is not what we do but how much love we put into it.
Mother Teresa
You weren't created just to consume resources, you were put on this Earth to make a contribution.
Mother Teresa
More tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered ones.
Mother Teresa
The world today is hungry Not only for bread But hungry for love Hungry to be wanted, Hungry to be loved.
Mother Teresa
The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty—it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There’s a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God.
Mother Teresa
Even if I wanted, I cannot do anything. When they die, we always send for their co-religionists. Muslims take the Muslim's body to bury it, Hindus come and take away the dead to be cremated and Christians come and bury their dead.
Mother Teresa
I am but a small pencil in the hand of a writing God
Mother Teresa
Jesus has made Himself the Bread of Life to give us life. Night and day, He is there. If you really want to grow in love, come back to the Eucharist, come back to that Adoration.
Mother Teresa
When you look at the Sacred Host you understand how much Jesus loves you now.
Mother Teresa
If I can give you any advice, I beg you to get closer to the Eucharist and to Jesus... We must pray to Jesus to give us that tenderness of the Eucharist.
Mother Teresa
If you ever feel distressed during your day - call upon our Lady - just say this simple prayer: 'Mary, Mother of Jesus, please be a mother to me now.' I must admit - this prayer has never failed me.
Mother Teresa
We must love one another as God loves each one of us. To be able to love, we need a clean heart. Prayer is what gives us a clean heart. The fruit of prayer is a deepening of faith and the fruit of faith is love. The fruit of love is service, which is compassion in action.
Mother Teresa
We think we do so much for the poor, but it is they who make us rich
Mother Teresa
If I'd never have picked up the first person, I'd never have picked up the 42,000 in Calcutta.
Mother Teresa
It is only by frequent deaths of ourselves and our self-centered desires that we can come to live more fully.
Mother Teresa
Peace and war begin at home. If we truly want peace in the world, let us begin by loving one another in our own families. If we want to spread joy, we need for every family to have joy.
Mother Teresa
To be pure, to remain pure, can only come at a price, the price of knowing God and loving him enough to do his will. He will always give us the strength we need to keep purity as something as beautiful for him.
Mother Teresa
We will never know how much just a simple smile will do.
Mother Teresa
